Meet Kirsty
Pinstripe Solutions Founder

‘Thinking about it, ending up in the aviation industry was not really a surprise. My dad was a WWII Pilot and a keen plane spotter. As kids he would often take us to the observation deck of Auckland airport. We loved it and it became a regular adventure.

My first foray into the world of Recruitment was rewarded by a win in the Telstra Industry Small Business Awards; shortly after Pinstripe Solutions carved out a niche in the aviation sector.’

“I get to help people strive for their career dreams every day. Your emails, courage and dedication continue to inspire me. I cannot think of anything else I would rather do”

Testimonials

So after (what seemed like) endless applications I called on the expertise of Pinstripe Solutions and have now had two job interviews within a week! Thank you Kirsty for giving me the confidence to tackle those 'behavioural questions', after being a SAHM (Stay At Home Mum) for 8 years I needed a little hand holding to get my confidence back. - Katrina Sheperd

Kirsty is an expert in the field of aviation employment coaching. She is well connected and has a deep insight into the workings of the industry. As a coach she is patient and encouraging. After my time spent with Kirsty the interview process became much less daunting. I went into my interview confident that I had an good answer for any question that might arise. I was given the nod for my dream job. Thanks Kirsty. M.P. - Jet Pilot & Instructor ADF

The cover letter is great, a vast improvement on my attempt, so very happy with that. The resume again very happy with that and format is so much better than the one I had. The coaching session this morning was fantastic, walked away with a better understanding and a different perspective to job interviews... much more confident now. A very very big thank you for your super fast responses time and it is refreshing that you are instant with you emails, messages and calls. Keep up the good work.- J.P. Aircraft Engineer

“Hi, I thought you would be happy to know that I have been offered a First Officer Position at (premier Australasian Jet Carrier). The interview went really well, your help has been invaluable. I also did a great job in the SIM.” -C. Narrow Body Jet Pilot

I thought I’d give you an update on how my application with Cathay Pacific airways has gone. And I’m pleased to tell you that I PASSED!!! I’m starting in mid-September for the Advanced Second Officer Cadet pilot program. I couldn’t have done it without your amazing help and training. Definately praising you and pinstripe solutions as a massive contributor to my success. So I’m just happy to be in. Thanks once again Kirsty. -M. Pilot

Thank you so much for your interview coaching and resume help leading to my Metropolitan Fire Brigade interview which I passed, it was really fantastic to have an idea of how to answer the questions. Many thanks. - K.B. MBF Victoria

Lords knows the coaching experience was invaluable, as I was successful in getting the job and will start in Sydney on Monday for 10 weeks of training. Thanks again for your expertise. - P. Turbo Prop Pilot

I did interview prep with Kirsty Ferguson for 2 regional airlines, I had a Dash8 and ATR interview. I was successful in both interviews. I took the job on the Q400 last night!! Bring on the line training!! I wanted to thank you for all your help, you have been such an asset to me and a huge part of why I have been successful in my last two jobs and getting me to where I am today. - C. Pilot

I cannot speak highly enough of Pinstripe Solutions and Kirsty's approach to what she does. She has an in-depth knowledge of the inner-workings of many airlines. I had been out of flying for a few years and wanted back in so contacted Pinstripe. Over two sessions Kirsty stepped me through a game plan. She quickly identified the wrinkles and ironed them out. I am pleased to say that, due largely to these sessions, I felt confident and relaxed in the interviews. I now have a job as a First Officer on the Dash 8.- C.P. Pilot

I am being appointed and departing for my initial military training and just want to say thank you so much for helping me in getting through the OSB interviews. I think the knowledge and confidence that I gained from the coaching was invaluable to my success. Once again, thank you. - ADF (Airforce) B.B.
